Celine Dion
From Elles
Time That Counts
The hours of glory
punctuated by doubts
the price it costs
of always wanting
the voice that wavers, that sparkles
the room filled
with a love so great
so strong that it carries me
me lifts, takes me
no matter the note
to sing is to love.
Chorus
The time that counts
is always counted
br/>may it be won
may it be wasted
in laughter that flows
in life that tumbles
time that counts
is still counting.
He hammers us,
he presses the tempo
time is calling me
he is ten years old soon
he takes life, seizes it and leaves
the time that counts is always numbered
and my love so mistreated,
endangered
by the years
years too many that have stolen from me
how many moments, hours and days?
I have been cunning with words
my songs screamed your name
verse of passion
to love you was to sing.
Chorus
He hammers us,
he presses the tempo
time calls me
he is ten years old soon
he takes life, seizes it and leaves
time counts does not wait for us
and life glides on the water of time
life resists, takes its momentum
for a kiss it can land
on time that counts is always counted
a single kiss and life goes away
time that counts does not wait for us
even with you, even with passion
the time that counts only lasts one song
